SPOTLIGHT

Happy Black History Month! This month, we're highlighting Black Women in Data Summit by DataedX Group, which hosts the largest event for senior-level Black women in the data industry with a mission to increase Black women's representation in data from under 1% to 13% by 2040.

Since 2022, they've contributed over $350,000 to the Black economy by paying all speakers and prioritizing Black-owned vendors, while engaging 500+ attendees in transformational professional development. Their 5th annual summit happens September 18-20, 2026 in Atlanta, covering topics like financial planning, executive coaching, and ethical AI that aren't typically addressed at other tech events.
